Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Dortmund
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Dortmund
Dortmund is the eighth largest city in Germany, but in the eyes of Fußball/Soccer fans, it is number one. Ballspielverein Borussia 09 e. V. Dortmund boasts numerous league titles and has the largest stadium in the country. That stadium sits about two miles away from this cover which is found in brass form on Kampstraße. The city’s coat of arms fills the center surrounded by the location and function cut in Hoefler Text. The cover is made by A. Dannhäuser for Passavant whose block letter typefaces sit in the east and west regions of the highly articulated vented frame. An added DAB bottle cap from the local brewery due north of the stadium fills a pickpoint.
The perfect gift for housewarmings, and anniversaries each illustration is initially hand-drawn for precision and then permanently etched into cork. The trivets are .375" thick and 7.25" in diameter with rounded edges. The engraving method has incredible detail and tactility. Fabricated from sustainable Portuguese cork. Designed and packaged in Philadelphia, PA USA.
Cork is a natural material, thus rare aberrations within the etching can occur.
As each one is made to order please allow three business days for delivery.
